Kent ICU nurse recognized with Daisy Award for outstanding service

Posted

Kent Hospital recently presented Missy Myrtle, RN, of Coventry, an intensive care unit nurse, the November 2015 DAISY Award. The award is part of the DAISY Foundation’s program to recognize the above-and-beyond efforts performed by nurses every day.  

Missy was nominated by a patient who wrote, “We were blessed to have such a wonderful nurse looking over our loved one. Missy’s experience and knowledge is exactly what is needed in the critical care unit.” 

“It is a pleasure to recognize Missy for all of her hard work and dedication to her patients and Kent Hospital,” said Rebecca Burke, RN, MS, NEA-BC, senior vice president patient care services, chief nursing officer. “In Missy’s nomination you can feel the appreciation of the patient’s family as they explain how they were comforted to know that Missy would be taking care of their loved one during this difficult time. We strive for the best patient care here at Kent Hospital and Missy demonstrated that. Thank you Missy.”

The not-for-profit DAISY Foundation is based in Glen Ellen, CA and was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.  

Those who would like to nominate an extraordinary nurse at Kent Hospital, can submit an application at www.kentri.org/daisyaward or in person. Fellow providers and patients may nominate a nurse for the award.
